*We deliberately gather our respective communities to celebrate Black Liberation as a compass toward a unified Third World Community- at the 26th annual Malcolm X JazzArts Festival at San Antonio Park. Together we celebrate the teachings and strength of Brother Malcolm and the tradition spawned twenty six years ago when EastSide Arts Alliance set out to create a Third World Cultural Center to serve and unite the Black, Brown, Asian & Indigenous communities that compose East Oakland and internationally. EastSide began as a part of a fusion of cultural collectives of color which organized a steady stream of art programs, town hall forums, youth workshops, and visual exhibitions at the EastSide Cultural Center (which now includes a Third World archive and bookstore).
